Understanding Weakness | Magia Record (Madoka Magica) Anime Discussion

Magia Record, a Madoka Magica side story, with its new 2022 season 3, is a much different anime from the original series, following new characters like Iroha and Yachiyo. Adapted from a mobile game, and lacking the original staff like Gen Urobuchi, the anime takes a less dark and twisted path than the now classic Madoka Magica. The 2011 series provided an in depth look at a few stories; Sayaka's fall, Mami's pretending, Homura's reversals, Madoka's decision, and so on, to show how their flaws impacted themselves. With the newly released 2022 season 3, Magia Record does advance some of the ideas presented in it’s mother series, most notably that of overcoming weakness. This time, the take involves togetherness, and how it can not compensate for our weakness, but provide perspective and context to help us realize that it's all a matter of perspective; there is no true weakness or strength, simply what we think is so. And, without understanding each other, there is no way we can ever set limits on those near limitless bounds. Through Iroha, her developing relationships with characters like Yachiyo, Kuroe, Sana, Momoko and more, we get an idea of what holds these important friendships together- and what leads them to almost fall apart with The Wings of Magius' plan. #MagiaRecord #MadokaMagica #Anime #PMMM
